Devastation of All Types

Needless to say, I am sure you have followed, with alarm, the suffering of people in Alabama and Joplin, Missouri due to the devastating tornadoes which have hit each of these areas in recent days. Whether man-made or natural, disasters have severe effects on the children.

One of the reasons Schools Count Corp endeavors to help various areas which are suffering, no matter the cause, is due to the fact that children are affected in so many ways. Not only can young people be afraid of storms, they can be leery of any impending harm that may come their way.

One of the best ways to deal with the apprehension of young people is to help them gain a sense of normalcy that can accompany their attendance in school. Often teachers help young people deal with problems of all sorts.

The cause of harm is less of an issue for the volunteers and donors of Schools Count than the idea that we will provide support to the extent that our resources allow. The greater the circle of caring individuals, the greater our outreach to young people in need.

I appreciate your concern for areas impacted by storms and can assure you we will do our best to maximize our assets to assist the greatest number of people possible. Your support is invaluable in this regard.

Many thanks,
Dick
